Alloy 15-7

Description

15-7 Mo is a semi-austenitic precipitation-hardening stainless steel that provides high strength and hardness, good corrosion resistance, and minimum distortion on heat treatment. It is easily formed in the annealed condition and develops an effective balance of properties by simple heat treatments. For application requiring exceptionally high strength, cold-reduced 15-7 Mo Stainless Steel in Condition CH 900 is particularly useful for applications permitting limited ductility and workability. This alloy is particularly beneficial for a wide range of applications that include retaining rings, springs, diaphragms, aircraft bulkheads, welded and brazed honey comb paneling and other aircraft components requiring high strength at elevated temperatures.
